Battalion 👊🗡️⛓️‍💥<p><strong>Destroying Autocracy – July 31, 2025</strong></p><p><strong>Welcome to this week’s “Destroying Autocracy”.</strong></p><p>It’s your source for curated news affecting democracy in the cyber arena with a focus on protecting it. That necessitates an opinionated Butlerian jihad against big tech as well as evangelizing for open-source and the Fediverse.

7.2.0 – Follow ups

We’ve improved ActivityPub support in WordPress to make fediverse sharing smoother and more engaging—images in comments that use img tags from your media library are now properly attached, so followers on other platforms see them inline. You’ll also notice easier following: see who you already follow and follow others back with one click. Multibyte text like Greek or Japanese is now handled more reliably in post summaries.

@blog Okay her er lige lidt ananas i egen juice. Jeg forsøger at integrere min WordPress blog med fediverset.

Med ActivityPub plugin'et, bliver kommentarer og boosts vist på mit oprindelige blogindlæg, måske?

Hvis det viser sig at holde stik, er det potentielt ret revolutionerende for niveauet af engagement på WordPress blogs.

Så "boost og like" for pokker, så vi kan se om det virker. Jeg kvitterer med lille vejledning.

OK Masto hivemind:

I'm updating a website in WordPress. I have updated menus and submenus. BUT. If I hover over a menu, it still shows the unupdated menu options.

How do I fix this? The menus are correct everywhere EXCEPT when I hover the mouse over them.

Any thoughts on how to FIX this?
